Goodbye Reno

We have been gone for over a month now but I still had to give a shout out to Reno.

When we were first given the opportunity to move I wasn't so sure about it. We were living in Vegas at the time, I was pregnant with Ellie, and our house was weeks away from completion. Well, we made the move and I'm so glad we did. Reno was such a wonderful home to us. The city is great, it's big enough but small enough at the same time. The best part about Reno though, and the part that we will miss the most, was the people. It would not have been home without the friends that we made. Our friends were our family.

Reno, thanks for the good run. It was good while it lasted and you will be missed.

This picture was taken at the top of our stairs. It's so great because when I first told the kids that we were going to move Ellie was very concerned about our stairs. She said "But mom what about our stairs? Are we going to have stairs? And the carpet. Are we going to have the same carpet?"

The stairs weren't her only concern. She also said she would miss our dishwasher, and her pink walls in her room. She still misses her pink walls. She was talking about them yesterday. Poor girl, she is stuck with tan.

We had picked up the truck that morning and worked all day long packing up. By this point the house was empty and we were heading to a hotel for a good nights sleep before the all day drive the next day.

Thanks to both of our moms that came out and worked so hard to help us.

I didn't realize that this was going to be the part of the house that I would miss the most. Our fabulous bathroom and closet. Two separate sinks, separate vanity, garden tub, huge shower with double shower heads, and spacious walk in closet. Oh, I miss you!

The drive the next day with the moving truck and two trailers went well, long but good. We made it to our new home and are feeling settled and sometimes a little homesick for Reno.
